r/earthdawn

I've been working on some conversions of Earthdawn into Cortex Prime and one of the things that I wanted to do was having the 9 Passions being able to be used, but really for the system, I need to sum up each of the Passions into a one-word value to really work the smoothest and so I thought I'd bring my list over here to get everyone's opinion on how I did.

1. Astendar: Expression – Captures the artistic, creative, and outward-facing nature of love and beauty.
2. Chorrolis: Ambition – Focuses on the drive for wealth and trade, elevating the concept beyond mere acquisition to the desire for advancement.
3. Floranuus: Vitality – Emphasizes the raw energy, motion, and revelry inherent to this Passion.
4. Garlen: Nurture – A perfect distillation of the hearth and healing, highlighting the protective aspect of this Passion.
5. Jaspree: Growth – Encapsulates the passion for the wilderness, farming, and the health of the land.
6. Lochost: Liberty – Directly hits the core of rebellion, change, and freedom from shackles.
7. Mynbruje: Integrity – A strong, single-word replacement for justice and truth, reflecting the moral rectitude Mynbruje demands.
8. Thystonius: Valor – Perfectly captures the focus on physical competition, courage, and athletic prowess.
9. Upandal: Creation – Defines the fundamental act of building, construction, and planning that this Passion embodies.

I have some ideas on how to use the Mad Passions as well, but that'll be for another day after I've got these locked in in a way that makes my brain happy

So we're getting ready to play an Earthdawn game and I've been doing alot of reading. So it takes place in the equivalent to modern day Ukraine and Russia with part of it in the area of ancient Rome (including Italy) and China (and other asian areas). But I can't find anything referencing the west. What happened to France, Spain, England and the Americas? Does anyone know?

Nostalgia Alert: for some OG’s and former Planet Elderscrolls friends, I came across some old saved PES posts and also saved screenshots - using Korana’s meadowfae mod, but otherwise mostly vanilla with a few lighting tweaks. Here’s one example many liked - those twin moons.
If you’re still out there, let me know and I’ll post more here. :)
